"Metro Auto Recyclers is known to offer the highest level of service to their customers, maintains very high quality standards, and is truly committed to environmental protection. Such principles are in line with those of Team PRP, which makes us proud to partner with them.”
Echoing the sentiments of Rothwell, Brad Rose, president of the Midwest region added, “We feel that Metro is a great fit. We enjoy a good working relationship with all our Team PRP partners, and Metro will bring more value for us as we move forward.”
Metro first opened a scrap recycling facility in 1988 in Blue Island, Ill. In 1998, owner Steve Dykstra, expanded into the auto recycling business by opening Metro Auto Recyclers in Valparaiso, Ind., continuing expansion with an additional location in Indianapolis in 2010.
Metro said its quality control measures ensure that customers receive only high-quality parts that are handled in an environmentally friendly manner.
In 2010, Metro was recognized with the Indiana Clean Yard Gold Status by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The award has been given to only seven auto recyclers in Indiana. More recently, in September 2012, Metro became the first auto salvage yard in the country to receive The Recycling Industry Operating Standard (RIOS®) certification.
“It is a great pleasure to become a member of a group that has high standards and is as committed to selling quality parts as we are,” said Steve Dykstra, owner of Metro Auto Recyclers. “We are excited to work with other recyclers that have the same high standards and goals as we do. We look forward to being connected to these recyclers as we all strive to be the best companies we can be, and as we continue to serve our communities with quality service and quality parts.”
